Part of the managerial duties also involves talent acquisition and development, hiring new team members, providing training, retaining top talent, and preparing employees for advancement within the company.

Engagement extends beyond the four walls of the restaurant as managers work to build relationships within the local community, enhancing the brand's presence and fostering goodwill. They uphold and communicate Chili’s core cultural beliefs that emphasize every guest’s importance, food perfection, accountability, and a playful, collaborative restaurant environment. Safety and hygiene are also paramount, with managers expected to enforce and practice strict food handling procedures.
